Phrasing.app | Co-founder | EU Remote | Elixir | Clojure
Phrasing is a language learning app built by a polyglot, for polyglots. It was designed to be language agnostic, and currently supports over 120 languages. It brings a beautiful, simple, and addictive learning experience to languages big and small, and helps users learn 2-10x more in the same amount of time.
The tech stack is a ClojureScript PWA on the front end, and an Elixir umbrella application on the backend. The data processing happens in Broadway pipelines, and are horizontally scalable with FLAME. All of the data is stored in Postgres, and most of the communication between the client and server happens with a custom local-second sync engine à la Linear.app.
The company is bootstrapped and bespoke. There’s no investors, there’s no AI generated code, no shadcdn UIs.
The app is all working, the experience is great, and the onboarding was just finished. The creator has been using the app to successfully learn 18 languages and it’s truly a joy to use. This month they are repeatedly soft launching, and just fixing errors as they come up in preparation for a Big Launch (as soon as the error rates get within acceptable ranges).
